1) The following problems from Haykin, Chapter 2: 2.1 to 2.13, 2.15 and 2.21 on pp. 70-72.
2) Consider the band-pass signal:

g(t) = cos(2π(fc + fm )t),

where fc  fm .
(a) Find the complex envelope, say g̃(t), of g(t).
(b) Find the Fourier transform of the signal g̃(t), say G̃(f ), and compute the Fourier
transform of g(t) using G̃(f ).
3) Consider the band-pass signal:

g(t) = exp(−a|t|) cos(2πfc t),

where a > 0 and fc is large enough such that the amplitude spectrum of g(t) is negligible
outside narrow bands around ±fc . Using complex envelopes, find the output y(t) when g(t)
is input to a band-pass filter with frequency response:

H(f ) =
 0, else,
where t0 > 0 and B > 0.
